Rare anatomical variants encountered during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in low resource conditions and the convenient concept of the safe zone of dissection: a prospective observational study at a single center

The severity of surrounding adhesions, anomalous anatomy, and technical issues are the main factors that complicate cholecystectomy. This study focused on determining the types and frequency of laparoscopic anatomical variations found during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our limited-resources condition and on defining the safe zone of dissection.
